The Carter Family




CAPO 2nd fret.


Song patter : A D A E
A D A E-A all over again and again


Verse 1 :
A                 D
My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow,
A         E
for the only one I love,
A                   D
when shall I see him, oh, no never,
A          E        A
'till I meet him in heaven above.


Chorus :
A                  D
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow,
A                        E
yes, under the weeping willow tree.
A                 D
So he may know where I am sleeping,
A               E         A
and perhaps he will weep over me.

Verse 2 :
They told me that he did not love me,
I could not believe it was true,
until an angel softly whispered,
"He has proven untrue to you."


Chorus :
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow
Yes, under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me

To prove my love to him
Tell him that I would die to save him
For his love I never could win

Yes, under the weeping willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps he will weep for me
